Each guest that visits a participating Chicken Salad Chick restaurant on Jan. 26 will receive one free scoop of Classic Carol chicken salad, the brand’s original and most popular chicken salad flavors.

Chicken Salad Chick opened its first Southwest Florida restaurant at 7350 Cortez Rd. W. in September.

“In honor of our ninth birthday, we really wanted to express our gratitude and share our love for chicken salad by serving up a free scoop for guests to enjoy at all 65 participating locations,” said Stacy Brown, Chicken Salad Chick founder. “As a company, we’ve experienced tremendous growth and none of this would be possible without the support of our amazing customers and guests.”

The Chicken Salad Chick concept launched in Auburn, Alabama, in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. The restaurant grew into a small takeout restaurant and had since expanded to 60 restaurants in the Southeast.
